Sprint Exemplar Case Studies

In 2019, eleven projects helped to develop proof of concepts for technology, methodology and research services that informed the design of the Digital Innovation Hub Programme. The projects also provided early user cases that demonstrated the unique approach of the programme focusing on research services and infrastructure across NHS, academia and industry to enable the utilisation of high value linked datasets for UK scale research.

The Sprint Exemplar Projects were collaborations between industry, academia and the NHS, and were funded through the UK Research and Innovation Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF) investment. In just 10 months, the Sprint Exemplars rapidly achieved a huge variety of work which you can read about in the case studies below.

These exciting projects supported the Digital Innovation Hub Programme in several ways. They:

Generated early momentum and engagement during the design phase

Provided information about current market and idea generation

Shared early lessons with the wider programme

Started to build the community. The participants delivered more than their projects – they helped to shape the future of health data science in the UK
